    Dissolvables: Camel vs. Stonewall

    I've been testing the Camel Orbs, Strips and Sticks for awhile now and feel prepared to compare these to Star Scientific's Ariva and Stonewall dissolvables. The Stonewall pellets are the bedrock of my stay-off-cigarettes program. Along with snus and the e-cig, I achieve equilibrium. YouTube...

    Arrrgh! Facebook prompts!

    I have tried so many ways to get rid of that damnable Facebook prompt after a serious error in judgment caused me to click it one day. Following suggestions in an earlier thread, I got rid of it -- temporarily. I used Crap Cleaner, and it seemed to work. Nah. It was teasing me. Every time I...

    E-cig evolution to eGo

    I posted two videos of almost 10 minutes apiece on the evolution of electronic smoking, from the first e-pipe to the new eGo. This is a personal journey, to be sure, but many have followed the same journey. The videos cover multiple devices and focus in the end on the eGo, which has one...

    Formidable new foe

    Americans for Nonsmokers' Rights is an anti organization that we'd really like to have on our side. Aren't e-cig users non-smokers? Didn't many here kick tobacco cigarettes after finding fulfillment in e-cigs? But support is apparently not going to be the case with ANR. They are taking a...

    California vote on e-cigs coming--Gov. vetos--defers to SE v. FDA case

    Well, add California to the list of states wanting to categorize electronic cigarettes as "tobacco products." That can only be for tax purposes in a state desperate for additional taxes. But the ramifications are many -- none good, in my view. I'm sorry to say that I am not interested in a...
